\u201cI don\u2019t know his favorite flower.\u201d She sucked her teeth mock disapprovingly. \u201cI\u2019m not sure he even has one,\u201d Cooper added defensively. \u201cWhat about birthday?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cSomething that goes with the gift you got him because you better not just be walking in with some lousy flowers. So which is it?\u201d <\/p>\n

Cooper laughed. \u201cWhat if I want to get him some flowers just because?\u201d <\/p>\n

She raised an eyebrow and sniffed. \u201cUh-huh, right. You-fucked-up-flowers it is, then.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As I reread this series, I am again reminded how the single point-of-view can be perfect when done right. You know Cooper’s thoughts, you know Cooper’s feelings about Oliver, but you only see Park’s actions from the outside and his reactions to Cooper.<\/p>\n
